Sat, 13 Jun 2020 16:50:22 +0000

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been graduallydecreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,I also fixed the indentation.There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran thefollowing commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/connector/Kconfig

Use menuconfig objects: connectorUse menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at onceinstead of going through all options.Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt Acked-by: Evgeniy Polyakov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/connector/Kconfig

9f46080c - [PATCH] Process Events Connector

Mon, 07 Nov 2005 08:59:16 +0000

[PATCH] Process Events ConnectorThis patch adds a connector that reports fork, exec, id change, and exitevents for all processes to userspace. It replaces the fork_advisor patchthat ELSA is currently using. Applications that may find these eventsuseful include accounting/auditing (e.g. ELSA), system activity monitoring(e.g. top), security, and resource management (e.g. CKRM).Signed-off-by: Matt Helsley Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/connector/Kconfig

7672d0b5 - [NET]: Add netlink connector.

Mon, 12 Sep 2005 02:15:07 +0000

[NET]: Add netlink connector.Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to usecommunication module which implements easy to use bidirectionalmessage bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created toeliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message busdirection.Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using asone of it's backends netlink based network. One must registercallback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink messagewith appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward: socket(); bind(); send(); recv();But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driverwriter must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buffhandling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlinkbased networking for inter-process communication in a significantlyeasier way:int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);struct cb_id{ __u32 idx; __u32 val;};idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered inconnector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is acallback function which will be called when message with above idx.valwill be received by connector core.Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it'susers.Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.[ Incorporating many cleanups and fixes by myself and Andrew Morton -DaveM ]Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: David S.
